First and foremost i'm by the names
Ssebaggala Alex Heskey CEO/Director Galaxy Dance Project Uganda
(G.D.P.U),let me take this Opportunity and on behalf of Galaxy Dance
Project Uganda members,kids and other people from different
communities,we really take our thanks for our brothers Smogone, Alessandro, Vetus La Rock and the people who helped them to
come and share their big experience of Hip Hop culture with our
Organization and to the people here in Uganda through teaching Hip Hop
knowledge, Dancing and doing a Graffiti workshop with the kids, members
and the people from different communities here in Uganda.

In additional to that, it was really a great experience and a big
inspiration for me and to the project i run, so much respect for all the
(2HPE Members) because you were the first people outside Africa to come
and share your experience, support, love and knowledge with us and this
made me and other people to become strong, staying focused and thinking
positively to the community and how live in their live.

Further more,the coming of 2HPE members made me to be known by very
many breaking people in different breaking communities for example
Mulago Dance Project and Breakdance Project Uganda and this also lead
people to know our project G.D.P.U and what i realized is that since i
joined the Hip Hop family i never found people like Andrea La
Rock, Smogone and Alessandro there really great to hip hop family and
they brought for us Hip Hop books and Graffiti Art Magazines for us to
learn and share with others i need..books like the Gospel of Hip
Hop, Foundation and Graffiti Kings..
Peace to you all

TRUE SPIRIT

Despite of the fact that we came from different Nations, Races, Tribes
and Cultures, we were all united by one intelligent language that has
no boundaries, no limitation to reveal its true identity in full
Unity, Love and Peace, therefore the oneness of true spirit of the
individuals who come to our project to teach, support and share the
experience with us shall always be remembered and greatly
honored. Through different edutainment workshops that they conducted
taught us more about the culture that we didn't know not forgetting the
cyphers and the battles which basically united us as on big family. A
family that wasn't judged by race, religion, skine tone or sex or
reputation. A family that brought happiness, joy snd blessings, our
brothers who kept on encouraging us to keep and maintain our true
spirit, to always teach and except to be taught, a family where everyone
was a teacher and the sametime a student.
I remember we had no music so we decided to clap our hands and
create a beat for the bboy for the cyhper to (flow) groove on our old
perparline that couldn't accommodation of all us t the sametime so
went in bits (at times we got so em) even through the conditions under
which we trained from were harsh and unpleasant, the hot sun, the dust
and stony grounds, it didtn't stop you from coming back to our
project. if only you stayed a little bit longer this would have given us
opportunity to learn more from you and may be could also teach you
more about our beautiful Ugandan culture, but we pray and hope that one
day you will come back and see the seeds that you sowed how
tremendously they have grown.
Hip Hop has greatly empowered us with knowledge, wisdom and skills
that has helped us over come various problems that affect us and our
communities for example: Drugs abuse, Child abuse , Domestic Violence
illiteracy poverty and HIV/AIDS ect our project is particular has been
able to unite different people (youths) from different communities that
affected by the above mentioned problems we engage ourselves and other
people indifferent sacred elements of Hip Hop,and this has help and
support us take action and a stand to fight against these problems
through total positiveness towards building and promoting the culture.
In addition to that Hip Hop has given a neutral platform to express
our feelings, emotions and consciousness and we greatly believe that it
will help us and our communities to transform into social responsible
people and leaders. Therefor we acknowledge the power of promote Love
Freedom, Respect, Unity, Peace,Work, Fun among the rest ourselves, our
communities, our Nation and the world at large and we greatly honour our
brothers from 2phe (Italy) for the great work, support, love and unity
that they showed and did at our project. Peace and much blessings.
